Team India scripted history by successfully defending the T20 World Cup title. This was the first time a team successfully defended their shortest-format world title. The "Men in Blue" also became the first team to clinch the title three times.

Batting first, the "Men in Blue" posted a mammoth total of 256 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan smashed half-centuries. Later, burly all-rounder Shivam Dube also played a fiery cameo of an unbeaten 26 runs in just eight deliveries.
